The Savage

Readers' Favorite five-star review quote:
"Author Kris Nedy engenders a chilling sense of realism into this novel to craft an exhilarating journey through a world of intense conflict and profound transformations. Kamolea's internal struggle between loyalty to his tribe and his revulsion at their practices is deeply compelling as a center point to the plot, and readers get into his head and understand his attitude thanks to some very careful, up-close narrative skills. He offers a bridge between the world we know and the brutal one where he grew up, and his adventures, often teetering on the edge of death, were thrilling and vividly described, making me feel like I was right there with him through every atmospheric new vista and heart-thumping action scene. The philosophical undertones build up slowly and subtly, particularly his ongoing quest for wisdom and truth, which hits home so hard by the end that this novel offers much more than a simple adventure story. The exploration of challenging one's dark legacy and the courage needed to instigate change left me reflecting on the power of change in today’s world and challenging brutality in all our lives, which is a powerful and unexpected message to leave behind. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend The Savage to fans of gritty, emotive adventure tales everywhere."
